Using AI Tools in Your Student Employment

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a core part of how students learn, work, and prepare for future careers. At Ohio State, AI is viewed as a tool that can support your learning, not replace it. This means you can use AI to brainstorm ideas, organize your thinking, and strengthen your communication, as long as you use it responsibly and ethically.

How AI Can Support Your Work:

• Brainstorming project ideas to help you get started
• Drafting outlines or first-pass language for emails, presentations, or resources
• Summarizing meeting notes or long documents to help you stay organized
• Practicing interview questions or workplace scenarios to build confidence

Using AI Responsibly:

• Always review and revise AI-generated content to ensure it reflects your own voice and understanding
• Avoid entering private, confidential, or sensitive information into AI tools
• Follow your supervisor’s expectations for when and how AI can be used in your role
• Use only university-approved tools when working with institutional or student information
